We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
Pushdown systems provide a natural model of software with recursive procedure calls. We provide a tool implementing an algorithm for computing the winning regions of a pushdown par...

Extraction of entities from ad creatives is an important problem that can benefit many computational advertising tasks. Supervised and semi-supervised solutions rely on labeled da...
Belief propagation is a popular global optimization technique for many computer vision problems. However, it requires extensive computation due to the iterative message passing op...
